2021 Spring Summer Weekly Offerings #3

Posted on June 9th, 2021 by Cale Sprister

Week #3 Offerings:

  • Spring Mix

  • Spring Onion
  • Cilantro
  • Salad turnip
  • Braising mix-mustards
  • Purple Top Radish

The farm took a beating this week... Severe wind and hail destroyed the "pepperhouse"; (tore the plastic from end to end damaged the sidewall gear).  Many of the peppers were sheared off at the top and may not recover.

 

I also lost 45ish of the 75 summer squash and zucchini plants as well as 2 beds of Romano pole beans.

I will replant but that puts variety further behind.

And now the heat....which is NOT good for most vegetable production.

If I can't laugh about it I'll cry!  I guess we'll just have to make the best of it!

Please enjoy your weekly goodies!

Your Farmer
